Diesel particulate filter system (diesel engine only)
Replacing the engine oil
P. 364
CAUTION
Exhaust pipe
Do not touch the exhaust pipe during regeneration, as the exhaust pipe and
exhaust gases will become particularly hot. Also, make sure that there are
no people or flammable materials near the exhaust pipe while the vehicle is
stopped.
Failure to do so may cause injury by burning or a fire.
When the deposit collected by the filter reaches a predetermined
amount, it is automatically cleaned.
Cleaning the DPF catalytic converter
Cleaning the DPF catalytic converter is performed as necessary
in accordance with driving conditions.
Equipment characteristics
The DPF system has the following characteristics:
Idle speed increases during cleaning
The smell of the exhaust gas changes
When starting the engine, white-colored steam (water vapor)
may be expelled during cleaning
Acceleration performance may degrade during cleaning

VERSO-S_EE
DPF system warning light
(diesel engine only)
• Indicates that the DPF cat-
alytic converter needs to
be cleaned due to
repeated short trips and/or
low-speed driving.
• Indicates that the amount
of accumulated deposits in
the DPF catalytic con-
verter has reached the
specified level.To clean the DPF catalytic
converter, drive the vehicle
at a speed of 65 km/h (40
mph) or greater for 20 to 30
minutes as much as possi-
ble until the DPF system
warning light turns off.*3
Do not turn off the engine as
much as possible until the
DPF system warning light
turns off.
If it is not possible to drive
the vehicle at speeds of 65
km/h (40 mph) or greater, or
the DPF system warning
light does not turn off even
after driving for more than
30 minutes, have the vehi-
cle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
(Flashes)Engine oil change
reminder light (diesel
engine only)
Indicates that the engine
oil is scheduled to be
changed.
Flashes approximately
14500 km (9000 miles)
after the engine oil is
changed. (P. 440) (The
indicator will not work
properly unless the oil
maintenance date has
been reset).Check the engine oil, and
change if necessary. After
changing the engine oil, the
oil change system should
be reset. (P. 367)

CAUTION
When the electric power steering system warning light comes on
The steering wheel may become extremely heavy.
If the steering wheel becomes heavier than usual when operating, hold
firmly and operate using more force than usual.
When driving to clean the DPF catalytic converter (diesel engine only)
When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, terrain and
traffic conditions, and be sure to observe traffic laws and/or regulations. Fail-
ure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
NOTICE
If the fuel filter warning light comes on (diesel engine only)
Never drive the vehicle with the warning light on. Continued driving with
water accumulated in the fuel filter will damage the fuel injection pump.
When the DPF system warning light comes on (diesel engine only)
If the DPF system warning light is left on without performing cleaning, after
an additional 100 to 300 km (62 to 187 miles), the malfunction indicator lamp
may come on. If this happens, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional immediately.

CAUTION
Avoiding battery fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-
mable gas that may be emitted from the battery:
Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the intended terminal.
Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact
with each other.
Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open flame near
the battery.
Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while
related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following pre-
cautions when handling the battery:
When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care
not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing
or the vehicle body.
Do not lean over the battery.
In the event that battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention
can be received.
Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and
other battery-related parts.
Do not allow children near the battery.
To prevent damage to the vehicle
Do not pull- or push-start the vehicle as the three-way catalytic converter
(gasoline-powered vehicles) or catalytic converter (diesel-powered vehicles)
may overheat and become a fire hazard.

508 6-1. Specifications
VERSO-S_EE1ND-TV engine
Oil grade: ACEA C2
Recommended viscosity (SAE):
SAE 0W-30 is filled into your
Toyota vehicle at manufacturing,
and the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in
cold weather.
The 0W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic of the
oil which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before the W allow
for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
The 30 in 0W-30 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its operating
temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited if the vehi-
cle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load conditions.
NOTICE
Using engine oil other than ACEA C2 may damage the catalytic converter.

next oil change.

NOTICE
Notice on fuel quality
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline will cause the three-way catalytic converter to lose its
effectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly.
Gasoline engine (EU area): Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as
“E50” or “E85” and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not be
used. The use of these fuels will damage the vehicle's fuel system. In case
of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
Gasoline engine (except EU area): Bioethanol fuel sold under names such
as “E50” or “E85” and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not
be used. Your vehicle can use gasoline mixed with 10% max ethanol. The
use of fuel with more than 10% ethanol content (E10) will damage the
vehicle’s fuel system. You must ensure that refueling is carried out only
from a source where fuel specification and quality can be guaranteed. In
case of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
